Khaled al-Atrash, Ambassador of Palestine in the Czech Republic, said: “Solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in detention centers and prisons of the illegitimate regime of Israel on the occasion of April 17, in the heart of Europe, Prague, is a step forward to have permanent diplomatic support for the Palestinians.”

He added: “This year’s Palestinian Prisoners’ Day has a particular importance, since it’ll be the beginning of the largest national hunger strike. Hungry stomachs will speak to the conscience of the international community before anyone else.”

He also pointed out that Embassy of Palestine in the Czech Republic will continue collecting signatures for the Declaration of Robben Island.

A French National Front candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections, came to the Palestinian embassy and announced that he supports the Palestinian resistance and their rights which have been violated by the Israeli aggressor regime.

He also called for “appropriate actions according to the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention about prisoners in the prisons of the illegitimate regime.”

He stressed that Palestinian Prisoners’ Day is an important symbol.

He added that there is a huge responsibility on the shoulders of the Palestinians living abroad, especially in Europe. They should aware Western societies that Palestinian resistance is defending Palestinian’s inalienable rights, but the Zionist medias are trying to introduce them as terrorists.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of this year, Embassy of Palestine in the Czech Republic is putting the opportunity to sign the declaration of Robin Island ,at the disposal of everyone.
